If you're the Pels/Kings/Warriors now, I think you look at the path and feel pretty good. Like despite how shaky GSW has been, with Curry and their core still on the team who is to say they can't make a bit of a run? Face a flawed OKC team first round, then LAC/DAL who are great teams but not "invincible" like a Denver. You avoid Lakers/Nuggets/Wolves/Suns until WCF at minimum.

Hey Nance, your One and ONLY job was to block out Davis on an offensive rebound....you FAILED.....Also, of course Zion strains his little toe and misses crunch time, when he was a having a great game....ugh, of course, everything falls right for LeBron.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

Will Pelicans ownership finally wake up and blow up this core? These guys are born losers and will never win anything.

I'd get rid of Ingram. I think that guy is a loser. All the talent in the world but settles far too much for what the other team gives him. Relies on talent instead of hard work. Doesn't dictate the action. Reacts to it. Always on the back-foot.

Sabonis could cause OKC some problems.

I don't think GSW has anyone to bother OKC.

Sacramento's crowd is absolutely electric. Nice to see them in meaningful play-in/playoff games nowadays

OKC vs GSW

(1) SGA is the most talented guard (over Steph).
(2) Jalen Williams is the most talented forward.
(3) Chet is the most talented big man.

I'm still baffled how some young people think Draymond can guard Shaq in the paint.

He'd definitely struggle in there. He's best as a PNR/help defender - and he is awesome there. On the other side, Shaq would be miserable trying to defender Green in the hand-off game.

I forgot Monk and Huerter are out.

The commentators were just talking about the Kings weak bench and I was wondering to myself is Malik Monk the Kings only good bench player? Is everyone else a below average rotation player? And now they don't even have Monk.

Kings bench

G: Davion Mitchell
G: Kessler Edwards
F: Sasha Vezenkov
F: Trey Lyles
C: Alex Len

Not a single above average bench player.

I take it back. Sacramento can't cause OKC problems. Sabonis ain't enough. OKC have too many weapons. Kings have no bench. That series would be bad.

I'll root for GSW instead.

Davion Mitchell is already 25 years old.

Tough for a guy that small to succeed without a better jump-shot. Already 25 and still limited with his shot. Not good.
